 The native module initializes each server, sends `initialization_options` as `initializationOptions`, answers `workspace/configuration` from `settings` (including dotted sections; missing sections return `null`), honors open/change/save capabilities, synchronizes in-memory text including hidden dirty buffers, and sends close events. Incremental servers receive whole-document range replacements. Process/pipe I/O and requests stay on bounded background workers; input and idle diagnostic redraw do not wait for server responses.
 
-Diff snapshots retain a separate immutable document identity, full source text, side-specific path (the old path for renamed Before), and UTF-16 positions. Native definition updates preserve their UTF-16 ranges until the editor resolves the target's actual snapshot, dirty buffer, disk text, or lazily loaded comparison file; generic plugin navigation remains grapheme-based. Target ranges overlapping actual changed rows route within the same comparison and reveal the exact selection, including an unchanged declaration above a changed body. Wholly unchanged/context/omitted targets and files outside its changes open an ordinary tab without changing the original comparison or view. Snapshot-URI targets keep their immutable identity. Freshness includes tab, pane, source buffer/revision/caret/mode, and comparison/side; deferred file-load navigation also checks its originating view before moving focus. Invalid targets fail before opening a tab. Completion remains restricted to writable Working After.

 Language configurations can own an ordered server stack. The first matching language wins extension overlap; all its matching servers receive document events, while the first handles hover/definition/completion. The Python preset uses ty then Ruff. LSP merges each worker's latest diagnostic snapshot in assignment order before emitting the unchanged core-owned update. Empty publications/retirement remove only their source; revision/path/root changes and close discard all contributions. Worker snapshots retain identity so queued pre-rename diagnostics cannot attach to a new path with the same text revision. Combined diagnostic message bytes remain bounded to 4 MiB; an overflowing publication retires its worker instead of discarding healthy sibling annotations. Workers are stored in config/root order, avoiding per-poll key cloning/sorting. Shutdown flushes the exit notification and waits for peer termination within the existing bounded grace period before process cleanup.

 Ordinary `config.core.file_picker` and `config.core.file_explorer` bindings work inside comparisons. Ctrl+w closes a focused picker/explorer, retaining its query, selection, and expansion state; the panes use the reclaimed width. Ctrl+e has no reserved diff behavior. Escape closes the revision selector in either stage, but an opened comparison still closes explicitly through `:diff.close`, its palette action, or the generated action value below. `config.core.diff` remains the opening action and exposes immutable `close`, `mode.toggle`, `view.toggle`, and `orientation.toggle` children. New comparisons default to Branch changes (merge base → selected After); Normal-mode Ctrl+b, `:diff.mode.toggle`, or the palette toggles to direct Snapshots and back, preserving the selected endpoints. Selecting Working checkout on either side forces Snapshots.

 **Working checkout After follows forward checkouts automatically**, checked asynchronously once per second, including inactive tabs. A descendant jj change or Git HEAD rebuilds the changed-file catalog and captures current working bytes plus eligible unsaved buffers, while keeping the original Before frozen. jj tracking uses change IDs, so snapshot/description rewrites of the same change do not advance the endpoint or prevent following its later descendants. Same, backward, and unrelated checkouts do not rebuild the catalog; live-buffer editing and external reload still work normally. Historical After never follows. Set `config.diff_follow_working_copy = false` to disable following.
 
-Refresh retains the selected path when still present, explorer query/view/visibility, logical text-side focus, and split/unified/orientation/wrap choices; it clears review marks for the new endpoint. Removed selections fall back to the first changed file. Failed refreshes keep the previous comparison visible. Superseded file loads and LSP navigation cannot apply to the new comparison; snapshots still displayed in other panes or tabs remain read-only.
+**Pinned After editability tracks the checkout without moving either endpoint**, checked asynchronously once per second, including inactive tabs and when `config.diff_follow_working_copy = false`. Git matches the selected commit to HEAD; jj matches its change ID so snapshot/description rewrites of the same change remain editable. A matching After uses the shared live buffer. Switching away restores the original read-only After snapshot; switching back reuses the live buffer's unsaved edits and undo history. A failed checkout check revokes pinned After editing until a successful check restores eligibility.
 
-The changed-file explorer is **docked on the right**. In the default split layout, modified files show Before on the left and After on the right. Added files show only After, using the full text workspace; deleted files show only Before. Rename-only files show one empty pane, with the old and new paths in the explorer; renames with text or final-newline changes retain both source sides. Before and historical/remote After snapshots are read-only. Selecting **Working checkout** as After binds eligible regular UTF-8 files to normal editor buffers, reusing already-open dirty buffers and their undo history. Editable After supports native edits, completion, undo/redo, and `:w`. Removed files, rename-only files, binary files, symlinks, and submodules remain read-only. Closing the diff keeps its buffers and unsaved edits.

 Comparisons start in **split, vertical (left/right)** view by default. In Normal mode, **Space v** cycles split/unified; **Space s** switches a split between vertical (left/right) and horizontal (above/below, Before above After). Canonical commands are `:diff.view.toggle` and `:diff.orientation.toggle`; both are available in the palette and as remappable `config.core.diff.view.toggle` / `config.core.diff.orientation.toggle` actions. Configure new-comparison defaults with `config.diff_view_mode = "split"` or `"unified"` and `config.diff_split_orientation = "vertical"` or `"horizontal"`. Current choices survive file and tab switches; closing and reopening uses the configured defaults. Orientation stays unchanged while unified is active.
 
-**Unified** uses one full-width text pane with both original line-number columns: context appears once, then each changed run shows removed (`-`) lines followed by added (`+`) lines, without alignment holes. Tab/Shift+Tab still switches logical Before/After focus, preserving native source coordinates, read-only protection, and Working After editing. The border shows the combined revisions and the focused side's editability. Word wrap, syntax/semantic and character highlighting, search, selections, excerpt expansion, and wheel scrolling work in either view.

-Diff metadata lives in the text-pane borders instead of a separate info row: split panes show their own Before/After revision labels at the bottom-left; a single visible pane shows the combined `before → after` label there. Each pane shows its read-only/editable state at the top-right, independently of keyboard focus. Before is always read-only; After is editable only for an eligible Working-checkout file. The changed-file explorer and panes start directly below configured chrome, and there is no native-buffer help footer. Loading/error/file notices remain visible when applicable. Narrow borders prioritize state and clip titles without painting over the gutter or source text.

 For jj-managed repositories, revision entries and border labels display only the change ID; Git repositories keep commit-ID labels, and named bookmarks retain their names. The backing commit ID remains the exact comparison target and can still be used to filter revisions.
 
 Text panes use normal buffer interaction regardless of writability: motions and counts, search, Visual/Visual Line selections, multiple carets, yank, remapped bindings, and non-mutating actions work in Before and After. Read-only snapshots reject insert/delete/change/paste, repeat edits, undo/redo, mutating plugin effects, and saves, including saves to another path. Their text retains the revision's final newline. Snapshots use separate virtual LSP document identities and do not appear in ordinary buffer lists or dirty-buffer comparisons. Closing the diff disposes unreferenced snapshots and restores the live or original buffer in its workspace pane; snapshots displayed by other panes or tabs remain read-only until closed. Explicit buffer commands and Markdown/plugin navigation retain their ordinary behavior; native LSP definitions use the routing below.

 Accepted LSP definitions center the selection's caret row once in the destination pane, including wrapped visual rows and revealed diff excerpts. Centering uses the focused pane's actual height in either split orientation or unified view.
